Title: Feeding Mechanism for Envelope Blanks.
Inventor: LOGAN JAMES
IPC: B65H3/08
Filed: 1912-01-02
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 184. Logan, J. Jan. 2. Sheet registering - devices, separators, and carriers; dropping-roller feeds; pusher feeds for single sheets. - In a machine for separating envelope blanks from a pile and feeding them, for example to a rotary printing-machine, the pile of blanks is supported on a rising table b, and the blanks are separated singly and fed forward by pairs of rollers arranged at each side of the separator and a little in advance of the blank. The separator is shown as a suction pipe d, which engages the front triangular flap and slides in bearings in a frame f mounted on a shaft g oscillated by a link 6 from a lever 5 on a shaft 4 which is rocked by a cam on the shaft of the cylinder B. A plate h, clamped to the pipe d and carrying a pin engaging a slot i in the frame f, prevents the separator from turning in its bearings. The plate h also carries a roller engaging in a slot k in a lever l, which is mounted on a shaft m, rocked by a crank 11 and link 10 from a cam 8. Fingers y project over the front edge of the pile to prevent more than one blank from being raised at a time. At each side of the leading triangular flap in front of the end flaps are two rollers s with which engage rolls u on a shaft V carried by arms W on a shaft X, oscillated bv a crank 16 and a link 15 from a lever 14, rocked by a cam on the shaft of the cylinder B. The sheet, having been lifted and carried slightly forward by the sucker d, is fed by the rolls u, s into the bite of the continuouslyrunning rollers o, n, which pass the sheet on to a feeding-device comprising stops 31 on arms 30 and fingers 25, both of which are carried on rock-shafts in a sleeve 21 sliding on guides 22. The sleeve 21 is reciprocated from a cam 36 by means of a bell-crank 38, which carries a roller 41 adjustable in a slot 42. The roller 41 bears on one arm of a lever 43, the arm 45 of which is connected by a link to the sleeve 21. The shaft 24 carrying the arms 30 carries also an arm 32 and a roller 33, which is adapted to run on to an incline 49, so that, at the end of the feeding stroke, the stops 31 drop below the rails 20 and allow the sheet to pass to the grippers C of the impression cylinder B. At the other end of the travel of the sleeve 21, the roller 27 on the arm 26 of the shaft 23 runs down an incline 48 and so swings the fingers 25 below the rails 20 out of the way of the advancing sheet. The fingers 25 and stops 31 are adjustable to accommodate blanks of different sizes.

Title: Improvements in Electric Block Signalling Systems.
IPC: B61L23/10
Filed: 1912-03-05
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 5559. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & IIalske Akt.-Ges.]. March 5. Hand-levers, interlocking; signalling-instruments, interlocking. - Relates to devices such as described in Specification 6627/11, and consists in (a) rendering it impossible for a single depression to effect more than one release of a receiving panel, and (b) rendering the operation independent of the time during which the plunger rod is depressed. (u) The plunger-rod I is held in its depressed position by an electromagnet M1, the armature m of which is attached to the rod, the energizing circuit being from battery B, over contacts r2, d4, lead l2, contacts r1, d2, magnet M1, and earth return R. The blocking current then flows from inductor J1, over contact d1, magnet a, lead l1, magnet b, and contact d3, to earth return. The locking-rod II then rises to break the first circuit at contact r2 to release the plunger I. The inductors may be replaced by automatic current sources, and a time switch may be inserted in the circuit to release the locking magnet after a time should a pawl fail to act. Alternatively, the plunger may be held by a pawl, electrically released after the blocking operation, or by a specially constructed pawl, Fig. 3. When plunger I is depressed, supports v1, T1 for the locking-rod are removed. The rod v is prevented from moving down by the switch e, while the plunger is held depressed by a lever h. The blocking current raises the escape segment in the other panel and shifts the contact r2 to energize the releasing magnet c1 the segment of which is moved down to release the switch e. The rod v then moves down and releases the plunger by moving the lever h. By the raising of the plunger the segment teeth clear their anchor and the segment rises, the locking- catch e preventing a second depression until the magnet c1 has again been energized. (b) Two panels may be connected so that the circuit closed by the transmitter is opened by depressing the receiver; or a contact may he inserted in the circuit, which is opened after the blocking is effected, and cannot be closed until the plunger has been released and again depressed, as shown in Fig. 4, in which a pivoted lever g1 is attached to the plunger key T1 and carries a three-armed switch lever i1 having contacts k11, k12. A contact pawl n1 is also provided, and a relay p1 in series with the locking-magnet M1. Depression of the plunger T2 as shown energizes magnet M2, p2 and by turning the lever i2 closes the contacts k21, k22 and lifts the pawl n2. The blocking current flows through contact k21 and the circuit for energizing magnets M2, p2 flows from battery B2 over contacts d22 to magnets M2, p2 and contact r11 to earth return. After the operation is complete, the circuit is broken by rise of panel, and the levers return. The blocking circuit can only he re-established after the plunger T2 is raised and again depressed to return the pawl n2. The same result may be obtained by mechanical means.

Abstract: 1065. Pratt, C. R. Jan. 14. Revolving - cylinder pumps.-In a revolving- cylinder pump or motor of the type in which motion is transmitted to a revolving swash-plate by piston-rods connecting the swash-plate to pistons working in a revolving cylinder barrel secured to a driving-shaft, the shaft is arranged to extend outwardly through the valveplate and may be adjusted axially so as to bring the cylinder barrel into the required proximity with the valve-plate in opposition to the fluid pressure tending to separate the barrel from this plate. Lubricating-means adapted to keep the fluid pumped free from contamination with lubricant and to avoid churning of lubricant in the pump casing, are provided. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the shaft h, to which the cylinder-barrel c is secured, is provided with a fine screw thread engaging with an adjusting-nut n bearing against one of a pair of rings o with a thrust bearing between them to take the end thrust upon the shaft. A washer r bears against the outer surface of the nut n, and is prevented from rotating relatively to the shaft h by a key. A pin u passing through holes in the nut n and washer r and held in place by a split ring v<2>, Fig. 7, serves to prevent the nut from rotating. Fine adjustment of the position of the nut and therefore of the shaft is secured by providing, say, eleven holes in the nut to twelve in the washer. The adjusting-device is enclosed by a removable cover-plate w, and is lubricated from an oil-container x. The swash-plate 1 and other moving parts are lubricated from an oil-cup 14 through axial and radial passages 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, the distribution of the oil to the extreme parts being due to centrifugal force.
